Runner A is initially 5.7 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.9 km/h due east. Runner B is initia
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

Explanation:

given data

distance A = 5.7 km  west

velocity V1 = 8.9 km/h

distance B = 4.5 km  east

velocity V2 = 7 km/h

to find out

How far runners from the flagpole, when paths cross

solution

we know A and B are 5.7 + 4.5 = 10.2 km apart

and we consider here B will run distance x km for meet

so time will be for B is

time B = distance / velocity

time B = x / 7     ...................1

and

for A distance for meet = ( 10.2 - x ) km

so time A = distance / velocity

time A = ( 10.2 - x )  / 8.9      .............2

now equating equation 1 and 2

time A = time B

x / 7  =   ( 10.2 - x )  / 8.9

x = 4.490

so distance of B run for meet is 4.490 km

so distance from the flagpole when their paths cross is 4.5 - 4.490 = 0.01 km

so B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

In a second order lever system the force ratio is 2.5, the load is at the distance of 0.5m from the fulcrum find distance of eff
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

1.25 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force ratio = 2.5

Distance of load from the fulcrum = 0.5 m

Distance of effort =.?

The distance of the effort from the fulcrum can be obtained as illustrated below:

Force ratio = Distance of effort / Distance of load

2.5 = Distance of effort / 0.5

Cross multiply

Distance of effort = 2.5 × 0.5

Distance of effort = 1.25 m

Therefore, the distance of the effort from the fulcrum is 1.25 m

Where coastal rock is softer, waves erode the land faster ​
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Headlands and bays are created where there are bands of hard and soft rock which meet the coastline at right angles. Softer rock is eroded more quickly and erodes backwards to form bays (which may have beaches). The harder rocks are more resistant to erosion and jut out into the sea to form exposed headlands

2. fight or flight

3. exhaustion

This is a process which comprises of three stages that describes the physiological changes which a body undergoes when in stress (an emotional, mental and physical human response to a specific stimulus).
